During our conversation Victoria goes on to describe the naming of her company and reflects on how each one of us are also in a particular stage of life… in a draft stage. I was so moved with her analogy as it resonated with me so deeply. She goes on to explain that her company, just like her life is in Draft, and certainly not the final version.

Today’s guest is an incredible graphic designer and even offers custom designed wedding logo’s. It doesn’t stop there though, listen to here more!

Some of you listening today may remember my premiere podcast guest, Mr. Tim Travis, owner of Goldner Walsh Garden and Home. Well as I mentioned in one of my podcasts from last month, Tim hosted a lovely artists market last December in one of his event greenhouses. To say the least it was delightful… but when you mix food with shopping, what more can a gal ask for!  

The market showcased several local artisans selling their wares, along with some yummy foodies! To say the least… I was in a bit of heaven on earth. My favorite things all in one stop!

I of course was hoping to meet some cool people to be guests on upcoming podcast episodes, and I was not disappointed. I met this super energetic gal with crazy cool art ranging from notepads, greeting cards, pens, and original art. 

 And that is where I met today’s guest, please let me introduce  Victoria O’Brien, Owner & Designer of Draft Paper Co.

Some of you may remember my premiere podcast guest, Mr. Tim Travis, owner of Goldner Walsh Garden and Home. Well, Tim was having a wonderfully quaint artists market last December in one of his event greenhouses and invited me to attend… well, that was an easy sell LOL~ artists + market + food + shopping… well, you get the picture!

The market was showcasing several wonderful local artisans which was my cup of tea! I love markets, I love artisan handcrafted products, and I love to meet new people, especially entrepreneurs!

I admit, I also went looking for potential podcast guests, and I wasn’t disappointed. I met this wonderfully talented young woman who awed me with her beautifully crafted pottery. I’m a sucker for pottery… I have always loved the uniqueness of each piece… and again as I’ve mentioned in the past, I love one-of-a-kind anything. 

And that is where I met today’s guest, please let me introduce  Karleigh Thompson, Owner & Artist of MoonMoon Ceramics.

Podcast with Tama Smith, Co-Founder & Vice President of My Sahara Tea

Today’s guest is going to thrill you with her business and how at such a young age she has not only developed a desirable product, but also the steps she took to get there!

I had the pleasure of meeting this extremely talented & driven young lady at a LeadHER-ship conference last fall. I was representing the Chamber I worked for providing information on the benefits of a small business partnering with a chamber of commerce in order to grow a business.

I sat down at one of the tables next to this woman and began chatting it up. In short order she was telling me all about her company and how she developed it.

She talked about how she and her team wanted to bring products from the global market place to Michigan, with long term goals of becoming a one-stop-shop for wholesalers.

Today’s guest will awe you I’m confident as she did me. She might be just the inspiration you’ve been waiting for to take your own leap of faith to start the business of your dreams…
